The Talents trilogy (Broché)

1883. Agrigento, Sicily. A city of spires and now broken hopes and bodies... Cairndale lies in ruins, and Ma love has vanished.. His only chance of rescue lies in a fabled second orsine, long-lost and possibly even non-existent. But when a body is discovered in the shadow of Cairndale, Charlie and the Talents realise there is even more at stake than they'd feared, for deep in the world of the dead, a terrible evil stirs - an evil which the corrupted dust just might hold the secret to reviving, or destroying forever.
So the dark journey surges forward, from the sinister underworld of the London exiles, to the roar of the street markets in nineteenth-century Alexandria, to the sunlit silences of the Dalmatian coast. Against bone witches, mud glyphics and a house of twilight that exists in a netherworld all of its own, the Talents must work together if they are to have any hope of staving off the world of the dead, and saving their long-lost friend.
